South Normanton and Pinxton Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area of 14,178 residents, September 2025 saw 62 crimes reported in South Normanton and Pinxton—a rate of 4.4 per 1,000 people. This places the area 40.5% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, a notable achievement for a built-up area within Bolsover. The crime profile highlights a striking imbalance between violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences (29 incidents) making up 46.8% of total reported crimes, followed by other theft (8 incidents) and criminal damage and arson (7 incidents). This pattern suggests a focus on interpersonal conflict rather than property-focused crime, a dynamic that may reflect the area’s smaller scale and community-oriented character. Seasonally, September—a time of transition as schools resume and nights lengthen—could have influenced the crime mix, with violent incidents linked to social interactions during the month’s closing weeks. The low rate of burglary (1 incident) and anti-social behaviour (4 incidents) further underscores the area’s relatively safe environment compared to national trends, though the absence of large-scale commercial or industrial activity may play a role in this outcome. These figures illustrate a community where personal disputes and minor thefts dominate the crime profile, rather than the more severe or systemic issues seen in larger urban centres.

September 2025 marked a 32.7% decrease in the area’s overall crime rate compared to August, falling from 6.5 to 4.4 per 1,000 residents—a shift that may reflect seasonal cooling and the settling of post-summer social patterns. Among specific categories, theft from the person saw a 100% increase (0 to 2 incidents), while bicycle theft also doubled (0 to 1 incident), suggesting a potential uptick in opportunistic crimes during the month. Conversely, burglary plummeted by 66.7% (from 3 to 1 incident), and public order offences fell by 63.6% (from 11 to 4 incidents), indicating a possible reduction in disruptive behaviour as the month progressed. Violence and sexual offences remained the most significant category, but they were 19% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, a contrast to other areas where violent crime often exceeds national benchmarks. Other theft, however, was 20% above the UK average, hinting at localized factors—perhaps the presence of smaller retail outlets or transient populations—that may elevate this particular category. These fluctuations underscore the combination of local conditions and national trends, with the area’s crime profile offering both contrasts and consistencies with broader UK patterns.

The area’s crime rate in September 2025 was 4.4 per 1,000 residents, a 32.7% reduction from August’s 6.5 per 1,000—a decline that may be attributed to the month’s seasonal shift as schools reopened and community routines stabilized. On a daily basis, 2 crimes were reported across the 30-day period, translating to roughly one crime for every 229 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure places the area among the safest in the UK, with its low crime density reflecting the population’s relatively small size and possibly the absence of large-scale commercial or residential hubs that might drive higher crime rates. When scaled to the local context, the 62 total crimes represent a manageable burden for a community of 14,178 people, with no single category overwhelming the statistics. The stark contrast to the UK average—where 7.4 crimes are reported per 1,000 residents—further highlights the area’s unique position, suggesting that factors such as tight-knit social networks, limited economic disparity, or effective local policing may contribute to its lower crime profile. These figures, while modest, provide a tangible sense of security for residents, who are likely to perceive the area as relatively safe compared to the national average.
